Our Christmas Goddess Miracle
On Christmas Eve last night
we shopped at a local supermarket. When we were putting our things into the car
an old woman approached us and asked whether the bottle of soda pop laying on
the ground belonged to us. It didn’t. She took it herself.
Then, she asked us if we
could drive her home.
In her shopping cart there
were four packages of bottled water on special sale and a few other items. Plus
her found bottle of soda. She said that she walked to the store from her home,
and planned to walk back.
But, we came along.
We loaded her things into the
vehicle and drove her home. In checking the route it turned out that it was a
1.3 mile trip.
The amazing thing is that
those packages of bottle water each weighted 29 pounds. That’s 116 pounds; a
total of around 120 pounds counting the other items.
Imagine: That old women was going to
walk back home in the frigid night air 1.3 miles pulling a 120 pound grocery
cart. It was cold. And, in the dark! [Hey, it was on special sale, after all.]
Her name is Meenakshi, of
Indian descent.
Seems the legend of the Goddess Meenakshi tells of her
travelling a bit too.
